Because I ate too much at lunch

by Brian Farmer, Aries - Not entered


Because I drank too much at lunch,
I really had to pee.
The bathroom held one single man;
there was no room for me.

He slowly drained, he knew no haste;
he sung a freakin' hymn
My bladder and my colon too,
were filled to the brim.

I beat the door and bashed to wall
and yanked hard at the knob.
He said, "Hold on, I'm almost done,
let me finish the job"

I passed the point of sanity
screaming out in the hall
"I need to go, extremely bad!"
I slumped against the wall.

Then I heard it, the sound of sounds,
the flush I needed to hear.
I jumped up and screamed aloud:
"Yes, my time is near!"

Since then 'tis many hours and yet
in the bathroom I stay
I don't think I'll ever leave
until the Judgement Day.


Reason for writing:

    i wrote this because i wanted to do a parody of Emily Dickinson's
"Because I could not stop for death"
